Hey, Person from NC Here
Mumford and Sons and Jimmy Buffett actually did not cancel their performances. In fact M&S made a public statement saying they would still perform and give profits to charity. Just wanted to help clear that up.

Don't stagedive. Got kicked in the head at a Fucked Up concert by some right bastard who just disrupted the whole show. Just mosh. It's kind of weird that moshing at this point has become a safer, more welcome act than stagediving.

I can understand not liking the new songs as much as the older ones but I think the amount of downright hatred towards this album/the EPs is extraordinary and kind of uncalled for. A guy who works at a record store near me hated it and said "there weren't any riffs on it". Were we listening to the same album? Hmm.

Wesley makes a good point: what if this album has the greatest music of their career and it's blanketed by this fucking terrifyingly bad album cover. We just don't know. I wouldn't put it past YYY to pull something like that.

I was kind of disappointed with "Tomorrow Morning" (it's weird to hear E sing about being happy), but this album, sonically, seems to be the perfect middle ground between albums like "Hombre Lobo" and "Tomorrow Morning". Really can't wait for the new album.

Steve Albini should just go back to talking about how he produced "Surfer Rosa" and the good old days of Shellac (it's what he's good at) and leave musicians, "professional" or otherwise, alone to do as they wish.
